We all go to school to study and learn different skills, but have you ever been taught in your dream?
Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher, traditionally called the Sage of Calligraphy(书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in what is present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. In the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he surpassed his teacher.
Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning in his dream. It is said that Wang practised calligraphy every day. Still he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hand.” Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character on his hand and said, “Now, you will be a calligrapher.” Then he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw the character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes in forming Chinese calligraphy.
After waking up, Wang kept practising writing the character “永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher.
It is said that even in his lifetime, a few of Wang’s characters or his signatures were priceless. Down through the ages, many students of calligraphy have learned from and copied his style.
